Radical Living For Christ

1. Regular times set aside every day for reading the Word and prayer.
2. Developing constant contact with God- abiding in Him.
3. Continually seeking healing of my thought life.
4. Not being a lukewarm Christian, distasteful to God. Remaining in the purifying fire and heat of Christ.
5. Humbling myself under God's hand, letting go of ego.
6. Saying only that which will build others up; watching the mouth!
7. Seeing what God sees, loving what He loves, hating what He hates.
8. Remembering that everything I have is His.
9. To make life more serene and God-oriented, eliminating from my home clutter, arguing, complaining, and constant TV and other noise.
10. Thanking God for my weaknesses as well as strengths, because He made me exactly right.
11. Ordering my mental life so as to be constantly in prayer at a deeper level.
12. Keeping in my mind that if it is the Lord's will, I will live or die.
13. Expecting Him to create in me a heart of beauty and peace, rest and hope, love and singing. Alleluia!
